Python haters, gather 'round

oh come on... In java it's all simple as 123. You build an app, you have like 200 dependencies, you pack it all in a single fat jar and only deploy that single .jar. Don't need no internet, no installs, no pip, no nothing: just your .jar file and the JVM.

So java:
- build an app
- use 200+ deps
- build your whole project into a single fat jar
- deploy your jar in the env
- install [*khem khem* scp into the server] jre
- run

Now let's look at py, shall we?
- build an app
- use 1 dep
- deploy all the 20 .py files in the env
- make sure you have internet access
- install python
- install pip
- pip install <my dependency>
- run your app

    ok, you'd then use cython and compile your python to c/c++ for whatever platform and rule that fat java all day everyday

    When I use docker I do the same and don’t care about dependency hell.
    - make image
    - push to container registry or export
    - pull image from registry or import on any machine with docker and run like you want

    Use containers and leave servers alone.

    @vane i like your approach, except I need the util I am building to be easily shell-scriptable. Ergo: easy to call, easy to deploy. Docker seems somewhat overkill..

    You still need Java installed. Use Rust, compile to machine code and never worry about runtime or dependencies ever again.

    Uhm, you can pack your py deps into a wheel and deploy it without Internet. For the old eggs I don't know.

    deliver one fat jar? you fat bastard.

    Always deilver a zipped up version of your jar + another zip dependcy jars, packged with a script. So you don't have to redeploy a 1.6gb file every time!
    this way you only have to deploy your 15kb crappy java jar.

    ffs. stupid devs. every fuken time.
